Spiced Nutty Sweet Potato

Spiced Nutty Sweet Potato is a delightful dish that brings together the natural sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes with a warm blend of spices and a crunchy nutty topping. The sweet potato cubes are perfectly seasoned with cinnamon, cumin, and smoked paprika, which complement their inherent sweetness and add a savory depth of flavor. The addition of roasted almonds and walnuts not only provides a satisfying crunch but also enhances the dish’s overall nutritional value.
